Student Internships at the Independent Institute

"At the Independent Institute we know that the world demands leaders for tomorrow who are well equipped to handle problems far beyond our current reach. Our growing global environment requires that our future leaders harness the power of information, innovation, and leadership in order to create a better world. To further these efforts, the Independent Institute's multi-dimensional internship program provides all participants with a hands-on approach to public policy, offering an inside look at how policy institutes operate in the rough-and-tumble world of public debate.

"Under the direction of Independent Institute staff, interns will be introduced to the ideas of classical liberalism and principles of the free market. The Independent Institute recognizes that many applicants may have a strong preference to learn about how development, marketing, publicity, and publishing play a critical role organizations like the Independent Institute and work to shape public policy at both local and national levels. As such, we make every effort to match prospective interns based on interests and future career goals.

"In addition, all interns will share specific responsibilities that may include, but are not necessarily limited to: research, reception, event setup and other tasks." ~Website.
